Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons (24g) tapioca starch
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
• 1/2 cup (3 oz) Raaka Baking Chocolate
• 1/3 cup (112g) pure maple syrup
• 1/3 cup (70g) unsweetened applesauce
• 6 tablespoons (90g) coffee (room temperature)
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

• 2 tablespoons coffee (use espresso for a stronger flavor)
• Raaka Cacao Nibs
• Crushed coffee beans

Instructions

1. 1

   --- For the donuts ---

2. 2

   Grease your donut pan WELL - you don't want any sticking! I like to grease with coconut oil spray. Preheat the oven to 350°F.

3. 3

   In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the oat flour, almond flour, tapioca flour, baking soda, and salt.

4. 4

   In a separate bowl or liquid measuring cup, combine the melted chocolate, maple syrup, applesauce, coffee, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract. Make sure all of the ingredients are warm or room temperature so the chocolate doesn't seize up.

5. 5

   Whisk the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients, until a smooth batter forms.

6. 6

   Immediately fill each donut cavity very well, almost to the top. This will help give you nice and fluffy donuts.

7. 7

   Bake for 11 to 13 minutes, or until firm and fluffy to the touch. Let cool almost completely before removing from the pan.

8. 8

   Clean the pan and repeat with the rest of the batter. It may have thickened while the other donuts baked - that's okay, just press it into place. Bake and cool.

9. 9

   --- For the glaze ---

10. 10

    In a medium saucepan or microwavable bowl, combine the chocolate, coconut milk, and coffee. If heating over the stove, heat over medium-low, stirring frequently until completely melted and smooth. If heating in the microwave, heat in 20-second increments, stirring between each, until smooth.

11. 11

    Put the melted chocolate in a shallow bowl a little bit wider than the donuts are big.

12. 12

    Dunk each of the cooled donuts into the glaze. If they seem too delicate to dip, you can also pour or drizzle the chocolate on top.

13. 13

    While the chocolate is cooling, sprinkle with cacao nibs and crushed coffee beans.

14. 14

    --- To store ---

15. 15

    Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. After that, move to the fridge for up to 5 days.

16. 16

    You can also freeze them, pre- or post-glaze, in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
